We have developed single leg model using COMSOL Multiphysics® software to compute Φ of TE materials without using conventional ZT parameters. The Φ were calculated using parametric programming in PDE by using special probe to capture change in power (∆P), ΔT, and area (A), thus (Φ = ∆P/A ... Read More
A rotational rheometer for Self-Consolidating Concrete was simulated as a yield-stress fluid in a 2D geometry. The effect of the vane geometry was investigated by comparing the analytical solutions with the numerical output for flow in the coaxial cylinders. This effect was studied by ... Read More
On transmission lines, the theft of redundant steel members from the transmission towers has been reported in recent years. The removal of these members from the tower can result in the collapse of the tower. An alternative to avoid this problematic is to replace some steel components ... Read More
The paper illustrates the use of COMSOL for obtaining the quantum mechanics wave function Ψ(x,y,z,t) as a solution to the time dependent Schrödinger equation. Once having Ψ(x,y,z,t), it can be used to compute the probability of a particle being in a specific zone within the spatial ... Read More
Electric field can bring liquid in motion and thus influence heat transfer. Electro-convection (EC) can be caused by electric forces acting on a liquid, even in absence of space charge. Here, we studied heat transfer in a metal vessel filled by oil, with a submersed high voltage ... Read More
The primary motivation of this work was to develop flow models in porous media with fractal properties to represent the anomalous behavior observed in some pressure tests in naturally fractured reservoirs. Read More
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is an electric field driven technique that has important applications in the enrichment, concentration and isolation of biological and non-biological particles. The assessment of particle trapping capacity using DEP, however, has been qualitative in nature; since ... Read More
Insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) employs arrays of electrically insulator posts in a microfluidic device to create dielectrophoretic forces that affect particle movement (Figure 1). The trapping performance of iDEP devices involves a careful balance between electrokinetics (EK) ... Read More
Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field, basically it designs systems to handle small volumes of fluids. Most applications require a pumping action in order to move the fluid trough the system. For most of them a micro scale active pump is highly desirable. A piezoelectric micropump ... Read More
A comparison of discrete fracture and explicit fracture models for single-phase flow in fractured porous media using COMSOL Multiphysics® software is presented to understand the contribution of each individual fracture to fluid flow, and the exchange between fracture and surrounding ... Read More
